I couldn’t let 2015 & the passing of Edgar Froese go by without paying tribute to the great man behind Tangerine Dream.
So, back to my roots while I update to Cubase 7.5.4 from 7.5.3 and explore the update for a few days.
These 2 Berlin School tracks are from 2003 & 2011 and use Cubase VST 32/5.1 and Cubase 4.52 along with Scope Modular 2 & 3, M-Trons, Roland JV-1080, Kontakt, Stylus RMX, Omnisphere, Atmosphere and lots of other things including, wait for it… Neon
An acquired taste, but I felt the man behind lots of things such as midi & Cubase (ultimately) should be remembered here.

Thanks for the positives guys. I’m sure I could get a better mix nowadays, but I’ll always be grateful to Edgar & Christoph for their work with Mr Steinberg, the Atari et al.

Wow – that is totally f***ing excellent. Both of them. Sometime I’d like to pick your brain, because I have no clue how to write/sequence stuff like this, and I’d like to know more
Thanks Twighlightsong, although it fascinates me to think that someone who’s just uploaded a country track wants to know more about the Berlin School genre
I mean, you sing and use REAL instruments
You’re welcome to pick my brain anytime - shouldn’t take long
Really appreciate the feedback
I should really have linked to this track for the Edgar Tribute too.
No, it’s not me in the picture but this was a collaboration with Spring of Sound via Planet Z that we did a few years ago.
If you listen closely, you’ll hear that it is based on Mars from the Planet Suite, by Gustav Holst - but I’m not sure how he would’ve liked the new version
